Hanging in the Balance

Mr Johnson was featuring as a “special guest” in Victoria Park, London, to ride the 1,050ft (320m) zip line, donning a hard hat and two Union flags as he attempted to sail down.
Instead, he ground steadily to a halt on the wire about 65ft (20m) from the end as the wire sagged, and was left dangling inelegantly in front of a watching crowd.
The Mayor spent around five minutes hanging comically from the drooping line wearing a hard hat, as spectators took video footage and photographs of his misfortune.
When one asked how he was feeling, he replied “very, very well thank you”, before shouting: "Get me a rope, get me a ladder" to bystanders.
“It’s very, very well organised,” he assured them. “It’s going well so far. Right.”

Using your misfortunes to your advantage
With his popularity rate rising higher and higher, this seem a perfect image to prove the point beyond dispute. Mayor Boris has a way with using his misfortunes to his advantage. This picture even makes him more popular. In a recent poll, a Boris Bounce is already predicted if he stands for election as a Tory leader.
When a mayor hangs in the balance
It tells you, anything can happen
So you can’t live anything to chance
Let your motto be; ‘Ever Ready’
When you are testing and you’re tested
It can be very, very frightening
But the dangling Mayor joked about it
Tell me, how would you feel about it?

Jeanne Guyon (1648-1717) wrote powerfully about the need for an intimate relationship with Almighty God, including this: “He who has a pure heart will never cease to pray; and he who will be constant in prayer, shall know what it is to have a pure heart.”
